White House threatens to veto CISPA ahead of vote |
April 17, 2013
The White House has threatened to veto the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) in its present form, citing concerns that the bill does not adequately prevent sharing of irrelevant personal information.
If the bill in its current form were presented to President Barack Obama, his advisors would recommend that he veto the bill, the executive office of the President said in a statement on Tuesday.
The cyberthreat information-sharing bill, also referred to as H.R. 624, will be debated in the U.S. House of Representatives this week.
The administration said it "recognizes and appreciates" that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence adopted several amendments to H.R. 624 in an effort to address the administration's concerns.
